I think trains should be subsidised. Business needs its workers moved around, so central taxation should pay for that benefit. I just don't think those subsidies should go into train company profits.
I don't think me being annoyed that an object moving at 70 mph can't get a movement in air is an anti train stance either. It is a swipe at the people who sealed up the windows without a plan b.
In a couple of weeks I'm going 300 miles on a work trip on a route that is perfectly well served by train... but I'll take the car because it is half the price, so why give up the convenience?
